September 5, 2023

Welcome to the Hero Arts September 2023 MMH CLASSIC Release. You should have arrived here from Channin’s blog. Our September release includes one of our most popular product combinations – a window die with coordinating layering stencils! In this beautiful fall-themed kit, the window is decorated with leaves and mushrooms, ideal for the autumn season. The kit’s 4×6 stamp set features decorated script messages which can nestle perfectly within the window. There are four ink cubes to use with the layering stencils, and a white lacquer pen for adding spots to your mushrooms – or for any other creative ideas you may have! And calling all shaker card aficionados – we’ve got you covered with clear card panels in the kit, too.

• Coordinating Fall Window Die
• 4 Core Ink Cubes (Spicy Mustard, Caramel, Cherry, Espresso)

For my card today I used all the inks included in the kit! This is such a pretty fall color palette. And if you have been to my blog before, you know I love me a good color palette. Even though the fall season is here in the US, we are still burning up here in Florida. So I can only get my fall vibes off of a card right now. LOL

To add just a punch of color, I pulled in some beautiful teal blue paper. The Hero Arts Adriatic paper was the perfect color.

The muted hue of this paper works well with deep reds, yellows and browns. Give it a try with your fall cards.

As usual, I have a tutorial for you today. You can watch it here or over on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy And if you want to see what other cards I have made with Hero Arts releases, click here.

I also have an add-on card for you today featuring the HEro Arts Pumpkins and Leaves Transfer. Talk about easy cardmaking. With these rub-ons there is no coloring required. That’s a win when you need quick cards. To keep with the fall theme, I pulled in shades of orange, yellow and a hint of light brown.

The beautiful background was created using the new Leaves and Swirls stencil.

Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Countdown

September 1, 2023

The Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Countdown has begun. We can’t wait to share this release with you. We are heading into fall and the temps are getting cooler. It was the perfect time to make a card with a monochromatic blue palette.

Shades of blue on a card feel so calming to me. I have several shades of blue n my home and I feel it makes it feel cozy and inviting.

Mixing blue shades on your card or in your home will make you feel at peace. Well I guess in my case it does.

Can’t wait for you to see the rest of the release. See you back here on TUESDAY (Monday is a holiday). Take care!

Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Carnations & Woodless Watercolor Pencils Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

October 22, 2020

Hey everyone. I’m participating in the Altenew – Paint A Flower Sunflower blog hop today. You should have arrived here from Tania’s blog. The Paint A Flower Sunflower is absolutely stunning and creates beautiful cards. Let me share what I’ve created.

For my card today I used the newly released Woodless Watercolor Pencils and the Paint-A-Flower Sunflower. I love sunflowers so this stamp set was perfect for me to color. With the new woodless pencils that I am currently obsessed with it was easy to create a gorgeous card.

Stamping my image in brown ink, I pulled a few of the watercolor pencils out and began to add color to my image. I pulled color directly from the pencil and also by adding color directly to the paper. Mixing tones of orange, yellow and greens allowed my palette to rest easily on my off white watercolor paper.

I made sure to build up my color gradually instead of all at once. Making sure to heat set the color before adding more. Once I had the last round of color on my image I heat set it once again.

Wanting to pull in some brown from the watercolor panel, I trimmed down my watercolor paper and layered it on a piece of dark brown cardstock. I only allowed the brown color to peek through at the top and left side of the image. To finish off my card I stamped a sentiment from the Paint-A-Flower Sunflower set and added a few gold baubles. I placed my panel onto a white card base.

In case you thought your watercoloring collection couldn’t get any better, think again. Create stunning watercolor effects with our Woodless Watercolor Pencils! This set includes a wide range of beautiful, vibrant colors, and each pencil comes pre-sharpened and ready to use. You can either apply the color onto paper and blend with a wet brush, or pick it up with the brush directly from the pencil. The pigment dissolves smoothly, leaving no marks on the paper, and the colors can be easily mixed and layered for various effects.

This set contains 24 pencils that come in 24 unique colors. The Woodless Watercolor Pencil 24 set is $44.99 and well worth the price. Here is an color swatch so you can see the colors. If the woodless watercolor pencils are out of stock make sure to sign up for a back in stock notification email on a product page.
